To check internal driven element block connections, remove balun, shorting bars, and feed coax/ phasing line.
Test Steps:
1.Continuity: between block & all connector Bodies.
2.Continuity: between N-connector center pin to one of the F-connector center pins and to the T-match rod on the same side.
3.Continuity: between the opposite F-connector center pin to the T-match rod on the same side.
4.No Continuity: between the two F-connector center pins.
5.No Continuity: between all center conductors & block / connector bodies.
6.Test balun cable connectors. There should be continuity from shield to shield, center wire to center wire and no continuity from the center wire to shield.
